Real Madrid unveiled Antonio Rudiger at Santiago Bernabeu
The German defender will inherit the Isco shirt.
The German defender decided to face a new challenge and left the Premier League for La Liga to join Real Madrid as a free agent. Real Madrid announced that number 22 will go to Rudiger, while he wore number 2 at
Chelsea.
Isco previously wore the number 22 shirt, but the Spanish midfielder will leave Real Madrid as a free agent in the summer after winning his fourth Champions League. Previously, between 2010 and 2015, Angel Di Maria was number 22.
Xabi Alonso wore the shirt in the 2009-10 season, and in the late 1990s, he wore the No. 22 Real shirt by Christian Karembeu.
Rudiger said:
"Madrid have very good players, particularly in my position, but I feel safe and I'm going to add competitiveness, because that is very good for a team. It's a great challenge.
"I can promise that I will give it my all. I want to win all the titles we can. Hala Madrid and nothing more."
